Californication S01E05 (Showtime)

Beautiful clouds in Taipei yesterday, 9/11/07. I just came out after seeing my dog at the NTU Veterinary Hospital.

The shit has hit the fan with Meredith and Hank. It wasn’t meant to last anyway, but it was fun while it did. But there is more to their break-up that what either of them will admit to.

Once again, Hank digs a hole for himself with his mouth. It lands him into hot water. Then again, it’s always causing him problems. He ends up doing a favor for Bill and visiting an all-girls school.

Charlie has problems in bed with his wife. He is no longer attracted to her but doesn’t know how to tell her. In fact, he doesn’t want to. He’s got his strange relationship with Dani at work which he seems to enjoy in a perverse way.

Another great episode which shows a progression in Hank’s character. In the end, things don’t work out with Meredith and Hank questions himself about how he is with his partners. He is concerned enough to ask his ex-partner Karen about this. She tells him the truth and it humbles him. That he can be mean in relationships, even though when he doesn’t want to.

Fans of Californication should be happy since the show was renewed for a second season last week. Californication has gotten some excellent ratings since it’s beginning.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.
